Her visits are something I look forward to every day.”

What are the details?
What is it?
FAF is a celebration for our students who have met our PBIS expectations for the first month of school. It's a time when they get to choose an activity that they enjoy for the last hour of the day. We will allow students to choose this activity in Homeroom on Monday. They will also be allowed to purchase concessions stand snacks for cash, apple pay, or debit card. Additionally, they will get to spend their PBIS Points on snack items.
Who Gets to Attend?
- Students who have NO ISS or OSS since August 1, 2024
- Students who have 0, 1, or 2 citations since August 7, 2024.
What happens if students cannot attend?
Students who have had ISS/OSS this semester or those who have more than 2 citations must remain in a classroom. They are allowed to watch a movie or do classwork if they choose. This is not a punishment. They will not be allowed to attend the party or go to the athletic fields or other game rooms.
